Step 1. Place all the ingredients into a blender and combine until smooth. Add more water to reach desired consistency.
Step 2. Pour into serving glasses or jars and garnish with mint. Enjoy!
Hint: Begin by removing the green tops off the roots of the beet. Leave about an inch of the stem because this will preserve the flavor. Make sure to wash the beet very well before adding it to the smoothie. Now, you have two options, place the beets in the smoothie raw or you can roast them. If you are adding them raw you will need a strong blender. Peel the beets using a knife or peeler and cut them into tiny squares before adding. The second option is to roast them which will give the recipe a smoother consistency. To save as much time as possible if you want to roast them. Wash and wrap in foil before placing into a hot oven for 1 hour the night before. You can place the roasted beets into an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to use them.
🥄 Variations
This berry smoothie is a super great way to get in all the nutrients you need for the day, but it's not quite enough to be used as a meal replacement. If you need a more filling smoothie, try using a few of these options for this beet smoothie:
- Ginger is an insane ingredient to pair with the beets to hide that earthy flavor along with the raspberries in this recipe.
- Hemp Hearts are a way to get protein as a plant-based option.
- Almond Butter can provide healthy fats as well as fiber.
- Avocados can be another great source of healthy fats.
Some great milk alternatives you can use instead of almond milk are:
- Soy Milk
- Coconut Milk
- Oat Milk
- Rice Milk
- Cashew Milk
🍶 Storing
Although I prefer a fresh smoothie to enjoy, you can store this berries smoothie for later use if need be. You can place the blended smoothie into a sealed container or cover it with a lid.
Refrigerator Storage: Beet smoothies when stored in the fridge will come with a little bit of foam on top, but all you need to do is mix and enjoy!
Freezer Storage: It can be placed in the freezer or stored in the fridge if you don't want a super cold smoothie.
💭Tip for Making the Perfect
- Using beets in a smoothie can be of use for many different aspects of your life. You can use beet smoothies for weight loss, detox, digestion, bone and muscle health, hormones, and more. Beets are known as superfoods because they contain nitrates, vitamins, and antioxidants to help your body. Just by adding this one vegetable, you can start your morning feeling amazing!
- If you are looking to make this smoothie as healthy as possible, then water is the best option for a liquid to use. The water would be calorie-free and simple to add to the recipe. If you want the healthiest liquid, but still a nice and creamy texture, you will want to use unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened soy milk. Try to avoid using sweetened ice creams or creamers in the smoothie because these types of ingredients are high in fat and sugar.
- Ice is not an ingredient needed for smoothies. Even if your smoothie calls for ice, you can use frozen fruits to help with the thickness of the smoothie. However, if you want to use fresh fruits for this berry smoothie, you will want to use about ½ cup of ice to make a thick and cold texture. Make sure to add the liquid before the ice to easily blend.

More❔FAQs:
Two of my favorite options to add protein to this beet smoothie is by using one of two things. You can use greek yogurt which will not only help with protein but helps give the smoothie an even creamier texture. And, the second option is Protein Powder which will give you the source directly.
In this smoothie, the best fruit to have with beets is strawberries and bananas. Although, beets are only mildly flavored which makes them fit well with almost any fruit you have. If you find yourself wanting to cover up the taste of the beets, the raspberries in this recipe do a fantastic job of hiding the beet flavor.
We always want a quicker and simpler way to make any type of recipe. You can save a bunch of time in the morning if you are a busy bee by preparing the berries smoothie ahead of time. Follow the instructions below to prepare your smoothie in advance:
In a freezer-safe bag, measure out all the ingredients and add them to the bag except for the liquid. When you are ready to make your beet smoothie, allow the bag of ingredients to defrost for 30 minutes at room temperature. Popping in the microwave for a few seconds will help speed up the wait time if you are rushing. Pour into the blender with the liquid and combine until smooth.
One of my favorite things to do with smoothie leftovers is to make popsicles! You can place the prepared smoothie into popsicle molds. Place the mold into the freezer for a few hours to freeze or overnight for best results!
